David Nolan studied Visual Arts at the Dublin College of Marketing and Design. While he has always worked on private and public commissions, he has also enjoyed a successful career as a Freelance Art Director and background painter for a number of animation studios.
Nolan has worked in Dublin, London, Los Angeles, Copenhagen, Oslo and Berlin for companies such as Disney, Warner Bros, Sullivan Bluth and RTE.
In 2004 he moved with his family to France and has had several sell-out solo exhibiti
